Don’t forget Amazon Prime Day rivals
For every Amazon Prime Day October deal, there will be an equally tempting discount from Walmart, Best Buy, Target and other retailers in the United States.
Walmart, over the last two years, has been offering early access to its best deals for subscribers of Walmart+, its Amazon Prime-like service. When the Xbox Series X and PS5 restock opportunities were locked behind Walmart+ we saw a surge of people sign up for Walmart+… and then reap the benefits of other Walmart+ exclusive deals. During Prime Day in July, Walmart cut the cost of Walmart+ to just $50.
Best Buy has recently launched its own Prime Day-like service that costs just $50 per year at its most basic level. My Best Buy Plus includes free two-day shipping, discounted prices and an extended 6-day return on most products. The higher tier My Best Buy Total is a pricier $179.99 per year, costing more than Amazon Prime, but adding AppleCare+ (up to two years for Apple purchases made through Best Buy, of course), 24/7 tech support, and 20% off repairs (for labor; parts not included).
How to get the best Prime Day October deals
The lowest prices never last. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to anyone who is tracking Amazon Lightning deals in October. It turns out, we do that here at The Shortcut, and I specifically issue alerts on my Matt Swider Twitter account (well, it’s now called X but no one is used to that yet).
We saw an Amazon Prime Day Lightning deal last month for a Pioneer 4K TV with Fire TV built-in and HDR that was normally $420 but was briefly marked down to $165. It sold out in under ten minutes, according to my real-time tracking data.
Who got this deal and others? People who turned on notifications for my account. During the 48-hour Prime Day marathon (now happening every July and October it seems), the best deals are in limited quantities. Follow along to save.
Amazon Prime Day discount codes
Amazon usually has discount codes available for specific areas of its company. So we may see another Amazon Fresh discount code take 25% off your groceries (if delivery is possible in your area) or that Audible 3-month free trial again (for new users).
Shockingly, the Amazon Prime Day partnership that premiered last year during the summer-time Prime Day never ended. While it seemed to be billed as a limited-time promotion, you can still get a Prime-exclusive free pass to GrubHub+, which is usually $10 a month. But, you’ll have to be an Amazon Prime member to get $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on all orders $12 and up.
Also, a hot seller every Prime Day, but not always at Amazon: the Sony PlayStation Plus discount code and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate promo code offers. But those promo codes happen all year long (they just happen to sell a lot during Black Friday). It’s become the easiest way to try some of the best PS5 games because it includes PS Plus free games every month. Xbox Game Pass discounts have suddenly become an essential purchase now that Microsoft has raised the monthly price.
